update ssl ocsp-response

Request an updated OCSP response.

Description Jump to heading

Available since

  • HAProxy 2.8
  • HAProxy Enterprise 2.8r1

When OCSP is enabled, the load balancer will automatically, and on a specified interval, fetch the OCSP response for each of its configured certificates. You can also request an immediate retrieval of this response using update ssl ocsp-response.

To display the last updated OCSP response, use the Runtime API commands show ssl ocsp-response or show ssl cert.

Follow these steps to update the OCSP response.

  1. Request an immediate update of the OCSP response for the certificate specified. Note that the certificate is specified by its path (in this example /etc/hapee-3.0/certs/cert.pem).

    nix
    echo -e "update ssl ocsp-response /etc/hapee-3.0/certs/cert.pem" | \
    sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999
    nix
    echo -e "update ssl ocsp-response /etc/hapee-3.0/certs/cert.pem" | \
    sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999
  2. The load balancer will retrieve the latest response. You can then show the response using show ssl ocsp-response, providing the Certificate ID key (use show ssl ocsp-response without providing a Certificate ID key to list all responses for all certificates, including their Certificate ID keys):

    nix
    echo -e "show ssl ocsp-response 303b300906052b0e03021a050004148a83e0060faff709ca7e9b95522a2e81635fda0a0414f652b0e435d5ea923851508f0adbe92d85de007a0202100a" | \
    sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999
    nix
    echo -e "show ssl ocsp-response 303b300906052b0e03021a050004148a83e0060faff709ca7e9b95522a2e81635fda0a0414f652b0e435d5ea923851508f0adbe92d85de007a0202100a" | \
    sudo socat stdio tcp4-connect:127.0.0.1:9999
